or nothing. State, Sheep Inspector
Dr. W. H. Lytle of Pendleton 1b stil'
working in the affected district and
has not changed his first diagnosis
that poison fodder was the cause of
the epidemic. While it is Impossible
to estimate the total loss to sheep
men, it will run into thousands of drjj
larse. Thousands of sheep, and lamba
bad died, which a IIUIa-. l4er would
probably be worth 'fren $2.50 to $3.00
apiece. ,
